Yes, it would have been nicer to discover this pretty gal on a top of a pine tree instead of a power-line pole. But these stunning owls are only in southeastern Canada for a few winter months a year before returning to the high arctic to mate.
Was lucky to even be this close to one.
Thanks for viewing, faves and comments are always appreciated !

La Mésange à longue queue ou Orite à longue queue (Aegithalos caudatus) est une espèce de passereaux de la famille des Aegithalidae, anciennement appelée tupinet ou orite
De juillet à février, en dehors de la saison de reproduction, les mésanges à longue queue forment des groupes de parents et de non-parents, se perchant en commun. Lorsque la saison de reproduction commence, les groupes se séparent et les oiseaux tentent de se reproduire en couples monogames. Les mâles restent dans le territoire hivernal, tandis que les femelles ont tendance à errer vers les territoires voisins.
La mésange à longue queue est insectivore tout au long de l'année. Elle se nourrit principalement d'arthropodes, préférant les œufs et les larves de papillons de nuit et de papillons. Elle consomme occasionnellement des matières végétales (comme des graines) en automne et en hiver.
The long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus), also named long-tailed bushtit, is a common bird found throughout Europe and the Palearctic. The genus name Aegithalos was a term used by Aristotle for some European tits, including the long-tailed tit.
The long-tailed tit is insectivorous throughout the year. It eats predominantly arthropods, preferring the eggs and larvae of moths and butterflies. Occasional vegetable matter (such as seeds) is taken in the autumn and winter
From July to February, the non-breeding season, long-tailed tits form flocks of relatives and non-relatives, roosting communally. When the breeding season begins, the flocks break up, and the birds attempt to breed in monogamous pairs. Males remain within the winter territory, while females have a tendency to wander to neighbouring territories.
